# Disruption Intelligence Ripple API – Gold Index

> Disruption Intelligence Ripple API – Gold Index is a paid API for AI agents from disruption.forgemesh.io, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a paginated index of geospatial disruption signals (from WARN filings, labor events, and regional economic data) with high-level metadata and unlock paths for deeper sector-impact analysis.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://disruption.forgemesh.io/gold/index
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/disruption-intelligence-ripple-api-gold-index-0f54d10a
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Z0yyCjshZ48LnGUj0PoON

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability disruption-intelligence-ripple-api-gold-index-0f54d10a
```

Example prompt: Show me up to 15 fresh, high-confidence disruption signals from the gold index for California — I want to see which regions are being hit and what unlock paths are available for sector impact details.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad discovery pass over regional disruption signals before committing to deeper (more expensive) paid unlocks. It is ideal for routing and triage — identifying which regions or signal IDs are worth investigating further via the sector-impacts unlock endpoint. Prefer this over direct signal endpoints when you don't yet know which specific signal IDs are relevant.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed query parameters return default results (limit 10, all scope)
- Scope value outside 'all', 'gold', 'watchlist' may return an error or default
- Payment not provided or invalid USDC on Base results in 402 Payment Required
- Limit exceeding 25 is clamped or rejected
- No signals matching the query returns an empty signals array with count 0

## How this service works

Deprecated alias of /ripple/index — use the canonical endpoint. Returns the same location-only index of Ripple disruption signals.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of up to 25 disruption signal index cards, each with a signal ID, region, state, signal type, score band, confidence band, freshness status, and unlock URLs (with prices) for deeper sector-impact analysis. Also includes navigation guidance on next steps and a product identifier ('ripple_signal_index').
